FINAL REPORT or THE, GRAND Jury.
GRAND Jury ROOM, Oct. Term, 1857,
District Court for Beaverhead County.
To Hon. J. II. McLEARr, Judge:
! We, the Grand Jury, serving at the pres.
ent term Of the District Court, respectfully
report that VIC have carefully examined
into all complaints OF the violation Of the
law brought to our attention, and have
made such disposition Of the same as our
duty seemed to require.
/ We have visited and examined our
county offices, and find the same are all
being we'll and properly kept and conduct.
ed by our efficient county officers.
We visited the County Hospital, under
charge of DR.. Pickman. We found it we'll
and neatly kept, and the county's INDECENT
sick we'll cared for. We understand that
heretofore two Indians injured on the cars
we,e kept and treated at tho hospital by DR..
Pickman, and that the Commissioners, for
some reason, have heretofore refused to
audit and pay the bill therefor. Humanity
required that they be kept and treated, and
we think that common honesty requires
that the Commissioners should pay the
bill.
We examined our Jail and can say 10th.
ing in relation thereto that has not been
. said by former Grand Ju.ies. The Sheriff
. and assistants in charge are doing all they
, can to make the Jail safe and comfortable.
| We congratulate the public that We are
soon TO have a new and substantial Jail,
! which is now in course Of construction.
t We are informed that the railroad track
runs SO near to the bluff at point called
Days spur in Ryan Canyon that travel is
rendered dangerous on the wagon road
, running between the railroad track and the
blu,l. We therefore think it necessary and
recommend that the County Commission
, ers cause 4 suitable fence to be built at this
, point between the track and the road to
nrutect and render safe the travel on the
wagon road.
We are pleased to acknowledge our Oh.
legations to your Honor for the valuable
assistance given us by the able charge
delivered To us when organized, directing
us as it did so plainly ia an easy discharge
: of our duties, and also TO our County Attor-
ncv for assistance generously render ed.
And now having completed our duties, "e
rcspcc,fvllv ask to be discharged.
